There is a little tournament for the
speakership of the Ways and Means
Committee Of the House-Sam Cox,
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, and Mills, of
Texas, being the principal candidates.
There would be no doubt about MIR.
Cox's getting this important place but
for the wide gap in his career made by
that Oriental blaze of diplomacy when he
shed the sunset glow over the East and
paralyzed the Sultan with a joke.

The New York World finds it to be a

The New York World finds it to be a
hard case that a Nevada Senator, repre-
senting 100000 votes, should sit in the
United States Senate on terms of perfect
political equality with a New York Sena-
tor who represents over a million Of
votes and over three billions Of property.
But the World solves the incongruity by
suggesting that New York should select
men of such superior talent and charac-
ter as to overbalance the disadvantage.
That is sound and it is a golden piece
of advice to every State. The Senators
are chosen by legislatures, and not by
anything like popular crowds, so the
Legislature should always appreciate its
great responsibility.

AS to robbery Of passengers in sleeping
cars the Massachusetts Supreme Court
decides that the sleeping-car company
is liable.
st is the duty Of the company" says
the court, "to use reasonable means to
guard the passenger against theft; and if
through want Of care the personal effects
of a passenger, such as he might eason
bly, carry with him, are stolen, the COM
pany is liable. Such a rule is required
by public policy and by the interests of
both the passenger and the company"

Az ANNIVERSARY TO REMEMBER.

Yesterday was the anniversary Of the
battle Of New Orleans, and it recalls
wildly the remarkable character and
career OF the hero of that famous action.
Andrew Jackson was the typical
American Of his time, not so rough as
the popular mind has been led to believe,
but stern and just with occasional bursts
Of temper that occurred as If to exploit
his sympathy with the peoples cause.
His great military achievement in beat
ing P~ackenham's veterans illustrated the
character Of the American soldiery at
that time, and he showed a soldiers in
stinct in the way be used his rilemen
behind works.
When he retired from the presidency
in 1887 his successor, Van Buren, seemed
to be only a figure, for the throng that
filled the space on the east front of the
Capitol saw only the stark old hero who
was leaving them, and the vociferous
homage paid him was what only one other
President under such circumstances could
have received.
The Washington critic in reviewing
his history remarks:
"Nor was General Jackson the immod-
crate partisan that he is so often and err
roneously represented to be. Upon the
contrary, he was the leader and central
figure of great public reforms. Even his
election as President, Mr.. Benton says.
was a victory over the politicians and
so was every leading event of his adj
ministration.'"
When the American citizen of to-day
reflects over that crysalis period of our
history and the men Of genius whose
ideas moulded our institutions with the
advancing times, and when we think of
our military power compsEef with that
when our reflemen lad to use a peculiar
method Of w9~.Gre in order to match the
veterans II Europe, there is a volume of
immelse intensity to incite our pride and
tesch us the cost and the value Of a free
government and a broad and patriotic
conception of our citizenship.
We have attained the first place in the
age Of mechanism when thought and de-
velopment are so rapid that we do not
appreciate our advantages, and thousands
of people actually follow the foolish men
who would disturb this course of progress
and put us back centuries with their IA
natic theories of communism.

Speaking of these senatorial contests

Speaking Of these senatorial contests
and the possibility of buying a Legislature
to send a "barrel man" to the Senate, it
has long since been a grave question as
TO the method of choosing Senators. We
know from facts that a legislature can be
bought; but it is very hard thing to
buy the popular vote of a State. 1t is
true that q political machine NAV do a
great deal in that direction; but, after all,
If there Is a thorough canvass and the
points are well understood, the popular
voice of a State would, in the long run,
be safer than the legislature against cor
ruption.
